It is a huge step indeed. The iconic female rap star has received many awards for her influence and dedication. Some of the biggest ones became a fact for her in 2019. At this, she got part of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and became the first female rapper to be there. Missy is also a winner of the MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
In 2021 she got a well-deserved place at the Walk of Fame of Hollywood.
